Polyfaces

“As the problems of the world become more and more complex, the solutions become clear and simple.”

One Australian family spends their life savings and travel to the USA, spending 4 years documenting a style of farming that will help change the fate of humanity!

Set amidst the stunning Shenandoah Valley in northern Virginia, Polyface Farm is led by the “the world’s most innovative farmer” (TIME), uses no chemicals and feeds over 6,000 families and many restaurants and food outlets within a 3 hour ‘foodshed’ of their farm.

Polyfaces is a joyful film about connecting to the land and the community. Produced over a period of 4 years, it follows the Salatins, a 4th generation farming family who do ‘everything different to everyone else’ as they produce food in a way that works with nature, not against it. Using the symbiotic relationships of animals and their natural functions, they produce high quality, nutrient-dense products.

We show how they regenerate their landscapes, communities, local economies, customer’s health and, most importantly, their soils. We meet various characters and follow their powerful, personal journeys as they benefit physically and emotionally from the Salatin’s way of farming. This model is being replicated throughout our global village, proving that we can provide quality produce without depleting our planet.

Agriculture is the most damaging industry, but it doesn’t have to be; and this regenerative model of food production could be just the thing that saves us!

We are a family who’ve decided to put the future of humanity ahead of watching and wondering. Together we’ve used and built on our talents to create a feature-length film of outstanding quality and power — a fitting tribute to the future that we know is possible.

Ah so you love your animals and then you kill them... Bad for the health of the animals (obviously) and bad for the health of the humans who consume them! I grew up eating all these animal foods and became sick with a range of chronic illnesses, like pretty much everyone in the world who eats animal products. I now am infinitely healthier on a plant based diet. I am so disappointed that people think and tell themselves that they doing all this great progressive organic, animal loving farming stuff but really it's just slaughter and providing products that are ruining human health. The only realistic and loving solution is to abandon animal farming entirely and stop pretending that these "loving" and "humane" farming methods are something other than execution factories that are entirely unnecessary and counter productive for human health.

I think you need to keep an open mind Clinton. I used to be a vegetarian, but am back to an omnivore way of eating again and feel much better for it. The important thing is the quality of the food one is eating and with that the sustainability of the earth. The polyface way of farming is defintely better for nature. If you feel better on a plant based diat, then good for you. We are all individuals and need to be able to making our own choices. I do hope, however, that the food you eat is grown in a sustainable way. We only have one earth...

I agree with a plant-based diet, and I have educated myself with plant-based lifestyle material for years. However, you suggesting that it is the "only realistic" form of human life to never eat an animal is absurd. For example, higher climates with undeniably cold winters must use animal products for survival. Killing of animals will always happen, sorry to burst your Utopia Bubble. Creating a higher standard and conscious way of animal agriculture (like the ways in this documentary) knowing they were raised a natural life will indicate a more aware society. With a more aware society you will obviously have people opting for a diet that consist of little to no meat. Think with the intention that all of your hate, judgement and irrational thinking gets you to the same place where all inequality takes place.
